Oh what do I love . . . ??

Well I was sitting here thinking today about all the reasons I love dear old Jerusalem. Why did I get twice as homesick for Jerusalem when I was Egypt than when I got home sick for home when I got to Jerusalem? There are just a few wonderful facts that make this place AMAZING!!
#1 The Tuna here is delicious! Don't ask me why but I can't wait for sack lunch day and sandwich day in the cafeteria because that means I GET TUNA!!! I liked tuna at home but this is so good. I think it may be the fact that they cut up all kinds of peppers (such as yellow, green, and red peppers) up in the Tuna and it makes it oh so delicious.
#2 I love the fact that they give me a massive chunk of Cucumber in my lunch everyday. I used to think that cucumber with skin on it was gross but now I LOVE IT!!! (if you couldn't tell I'm eating lunch right now)
#3 Well I guess since I'm on the subject of food. If you know me very well you know I slightly dislike breakfast. In fact it's probably one of my least favorite things about the day. But in the recent past I have discovered something oh so amazing. And that is bran flakes with freshly but up fruit on them. Can you say YUM!! Sadly soon after I discovered this delicious thing they took my bran flakes for me. So I've had to settle for the less delicious but still good cheerios with the fruit. But hey it's made me love breakfast!!
#4 I love the fact that I can not get ready everyday of my life here!! It's fantastic. If you know me well you know I hate getting ready. It's one of the most inconvenient things in this world (it would be number one, but having to pee takes that one). I love getting up in the morning and what do I do. The same thing I did the day before, take my frizzed out hair and put it into a bun at the base of my head. That's what I call a perfect life!!
#5 I love My friends!! Everyone here is great!! but there are a few people that I have a particular love. These include my dear Megan Connely who is currently teaching me sign language and is the happiest person I have ever known. Next would have to be my wonderful roommate Amy. She is always there to talk, my field trip, bus sick companion, and of course she goes to Hebrew University and downloads BONES for us to watch!! Oh and one more thing about her is she always has delicious treats to share!! Next would be my wonderful Schneiby Schneib or a.k.a Jacqueline. She goes through nursing with me, makes me laugh, and of course is always so complimentary of me. She makes me feel like a million bucks every time I'm around her, which is such an amazing quality one I wish I possessed! And last but not least is sweet Kim. We have known each other for almost a year now and I have never gotten to know her before now. I used to think her quite but I was wrong she is hilarious, sweet to all, and such a great and true friend!!
#6 I love the romance. There are so many love romances going on all over the place! It's great. I love watching these people that were went to be find each other and then have to pretend that they don't like each other to try to throw off all of us and the teachers. Sorry guys we are all on to you ;).
#7 I love being Mormon in this city. I feel like a superstar in the city. As we walk down the street everyone is running after us and calling "MORMONS MORMONS!!" K so it's not because we are super stars from a distant land (but hey let me dream) it's just because they know we have money. But hey it's still great to pretend.
#8 I love the people. We were talking yesterday in class about the prejudices and outlooks that we had on this country and it's people before we came here and man all of us we so so so wrong about these people and how they live. They are just like us, they just cover up quite a bit more allowing men to not have to cover their eyes everywhere they turn. Oh and one more thing these people seem to be a lot kinder here than in the states. They are really sweet and always willing to help you even if you can't communicate that well. They are all just genuinely nice and wonderful people.
#9 I love that my family misses me!! It makes me feel so special when I don't call my mom for three days and the next time I call her she freaks out because she hasn't heard from me for three days. (sorry mom but it's going to be a lot worse when it's for a year and a half, but I'm sure you will survive). I've never felt so loved from my family as I get weekly if not every other day emails from at least one of them (ok so it's mostly Dustin and Kathy and mom every once in awhile) but it's still great to feel the love. (Oh and everyone else if you want to get on that list of people that love me, you should email me and let me know whats up with you and I'll add you;) ).
#10 I love the gospel. Over here I have the unique opportunity to literally walk through the scriptures. As I'm reading about David and Goliath as I'm slinging a rock from the stream that David got his rocks across the field that David flung his rocks I realize how amazing this gospel is and how true it is. Yeah we are studying the Old Testament now but if people would actually really read it, you would realize how much the Old Testament and Book of Mormon is alike. It actually quite amazes me. And also as most of you don't know I started my mission papers 5 days ago and so I'm reading and studying out of preach my Gospel everyday and learning more about the Savior and about this gospel. It's definitely the number 1 thing that I love in my life. I would hope that I would be like Abraham and be able to give up the thing most dear to me (which is you mom) just because the Lord asked me.
So just to some up this whole blog I LOVE LIFE!!!! It's amazing everyone should live one!! Farewell for now and hopefully I'll be better with blogging (maybe I should have more midterm weeks because I'm just trying to find something to do so I have an excuse not to study)!
